And permantly disfigured even more with long COVID.

They knew what would happen. The US is wealthy with a huge military force. They could have locked down and mobilised their army to protect people until it was over.

But the oligarchs didn't want to slow their profits and give up even an inch of their wealth and power, so COVID was allowed to run rampant. They sacrified their own people to the virus. These people did not willingly sacrifice themselves, they were killed through purposeful negelect.

They also encouraged other countries to do the same. My own country hardly had any deaths before US officials visited and pressured them to open again.

It's no longer tracked properly so who knows the full extent of the death.

This could be one of the largest mass killings in history.

The worst part is when the news tries to spin how traumatic it was for kids to endure our pathectic excuse for a 'lockdown', instead of how traumatic it was to watch our countries murder millions for nothing and hear our friends and families parrot eugenics talking points to try and justify it.

EDIT: [CONTENT WARNING] There is a blue MAGA from another instance in the comments who is hand waving away peoples COVID experiences, so if you have lost a loved one to this disease or had your life or loved ones affected by it, reading the comments here might stir some trauma. Just a heads up.

      Wearing masks? You mean that thing that the US let people get away with not doing regardless of the party in charge?

      Not sure why you are so keen on downplaying covid but it's some sick shit.

          I thought you dumbass libs were all about harm reduction, now you're fine with people dying from unnecessary covid spread because the virus wouldn't be completely eradicated by masks?

          You have got to be intentionally trolling, fuck the democrats, and fuck you and people like you for protecting their dogshit record. I wear a mask because I care about my disabled comrades and I don't want to make them sick either. People like you have determined that disabled people they are a worthy sacrifice to 'return to normal'.

          At this point I legit can't tell what you're trying to convince me of here, but I just want you to know that you disgust me.

                      Shut the fuck up shut the fuck up

                      Before you say a god damn additional word admit that you either can't keep track of any of the things you've said in this thread or are operating in bad faith.

                      "Why did Biden end masking"

                      You: "Because's only harm reduction, not elimination."

                      "You just claimed that the Biden admin ended masking because it only reduces covid spread"

                      You: "Pretty sure I didn't say that smuglord "

                      Fuckin admit you're acting in bad faith

                      I don't care about the article, what the fuck does the article have to do with the Biden admin lifting the mask mandate last year?

                          You've already demonstrated you're not paying attention to anything I say, let alone enough attention to remember your own responses. I'm being way too nice by even responding to you at this point.

                          You say harm is getting reduced, I say you chose to sacrifice disabled people in favor of a vaccine-only approach and arbitrarily "ending' covid. Liberals would administer the final solution if it was on a long enough timescale that shitheads like you could run interference for it.
